Today, even the average smartphone sounds pretty decent. In fact, we're seeing more and more smartphones with front-facing speakers popping up, and these, without a doubt, deliver the best listening experience one can get on a smartphone...

How could the tech media are impressed of this BS front speakers on the smartphones?????
ROTFL
Are they real TECH media??? No!
Everyone who knows little about acoustic, knows that front speakers without the "acoustic box"(that the hands of the user makes), sound like a tweeters with no bass on such thin device.
Even the new TVs use the "acoustic box" of the wall behind to reproduce the bass. So thin panel can not reproduce bass AT ALL. No front speakers there. Right?

Kwitcherbichin. Nobody is claiming that it's new tech. But it's definitely a feature that should be seen more often, and should have been seen earlier. These days, phones are used (more?) often as media devices than phones. Netflix, youtube, games, etc. Stuff we look at the screen to do. So why should the speakers face AWAY from us? Makes no sense. Front facing speakers do.

It's like wheels on luggage, or upsidedown ketchup bottles. Somebody should have thought this $#%t up sooner.

At least it's better than speakers that doesn't shoot the sounds to your ears. Oh, the hassle of having to cup the speakers just so you can hear to the sounds or constantly flipping the phone while playing music to change tracks (or even do anything) because the screen is on the other side..

You're saying that it's BS because it doesn't have much audiophile quality but practicality alone is enough for consumers. Even most laptops don't have great speakers.

While I can perceive this as an opinionated review, there aren't that many other branded phones that use front facing stereo speakers. I suspect that this comparison is used to try and further prop up HTC as why it should be a consumers' best choice.

I am becoming annoyed and disappointed in today's tech editors. Rather than reporting in regards to the interest of consumers, the reporters are consistently using subliminal articles to push their device of choice. I understand the power of media to encourage an approval of certain products. However, beating a dead horse doesn't add credentials to the reporter's cause nor does it help the company.

I fully believe, due to experiencing this company, that HTC has a consumer relationship issue that is causing its sunset. I have written extensively to this company to share my concerns on why it is failing. I further ask that It's time the reporters use their clout to direct this issue to HTC rather than trying to act as the company prostitute. HTC needs help with integrals. Let's focus on that; Reporters should be working for the consumer. Not to give the consumer compromised offerings. It should be best of all worlds.

In defense to HTC, there is a lot to like about it. But, it has foregone much of what made it one of the fastest growing handset makers. This has caused its rapid down spiraling and as a supporter and perpetual purchaser of HTC for many years, I feel offended that HTC decided to ignore its diehard consumers in favor of enlisting a practice of another branded handset completely different in what we were looking for.

I worked for a radio station back in the 70s. There was an oath amoungst the media that we should not use our status' as leverage for determining or influencing the people's choices. Today, this oath is skewed due to money generated by funded interests. I can only take articles written here as face value. I choose to retain the basic article for news and discard the opinion aspects. Until these sites become more serious with what consumers are actually interested in and looking for, rather than pushing what they personally like, we can consider the site as just a form of entertainment. Nothing more. These sites have the choice to be either an inspiration for legitimate consumer references or, remain a caustic web source of impractical knowledge.

I'm this close to wanting to have my own reference site that would actually fight for the consumer's interests for "creating" the best phones instead of accepting whatever the manufacturers "think" we need. That is what sites like this should be looking for as well. We all want the best with no compromises, yet, these sites seem to always go out of their way to make consumers accept the compromise.

I'm sorry but PhoneArena really got it wrong this time. Your selection is much too limited. Although the M8 sounds pretty good, it has nothing on the Lenovo S930 with its front facing Dolby speakers. Both in terms of loudness, quality or bass. It may have low end specs but it really got it right when it comes to the speakers! Go check it out!

its really no surprise that the list is dominated by HTC since theyre the only big name manufacturer with a portfolio of devices with front facing speakers.
however, should the amazon phone be on the list when it hasnt even be reviewed? it seems like the list is made up of "whatever phones we can think of with front facing speakers" tbh
